“We had a very pleasant stay at Primrose Cottage, it was extremely comfortable and absolutely spotless all the way through.”

It was an excellent base to explore the whole of Cornwall. It was my husband and I and our two cockapoo's staying, there was everything available in the cottage for a very pleasurable stay. We would definitely visit Primrose Cottage again :)

“Primrose Cottage was a beautiful home from home with everything I needed for my 5 day stay.”

Excellent contact from Rhian about getting there, key collecting and parking ( I used St Gluvias car park which is free and a short walk, although there is a hill involved if you're carrying stuff). The bed was so comfy I slept every night, the kitchen well equipped for cooking and washing up, the courtyard smelt beautiful with the jasmine and the banana tree was impressive! Excellent quality and good value for money. Thank you.

“A friend and I spent a wonderful week in Primrose Cottage in Penryn.”

The cottage was, as expected, charming, well equipped and clean and matched the photos on the website. The beds were very comfortable and were equipped with nice bedlinen. The hosts had provided a bottle of wine, milk, tea and coffee as a welcome gift and there was also a useful information pack. There was a slight issue on arrival and the hosts responded immediately when contacted. The neighbours, in the house to which the cottage is attached, were at times very noisy at night, which was especially difficult in the main bedroom. In an area where houses are terraced (frontage on the street ) with cottages attached at the back - down little alleys - it would be unrealistic to expect complete peace and quiet, but this was really quite disruptive some nights and spoilt some of the holiday experience. Whilst Penryn town is tiny, it is close to Falmouth, where you are spoilt for choice re shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Penryn does, however, have a couple of great fish and chips shops, a few pubs and a small supermarket conveniently located close to the cottage. The one niggle is the extremely difficult parking situation which resulted in us thinking twice about using the car in the evenings. The option is to use local taxis. However, parking is an issue throughout Cornwall and one that cannot be solved by the owners of the cottage. All in all, a very lovely week in a very pretty cottage located in such a beautiful part of the country.

Thank you for feedback, we are pleased to announce that we now have secured an allocated parking space in the local Quay Hill car park, only 70 yards from Primrose Cottage which is inclusive of a parking permit. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Owner relations

“We enjoyed our stay at Primrose Cottage very much.”

This is such a beautiful part of the country with lots to do and places to explore. The cottage was warm and cosy, with the log burner a real treat for us. The cottage was very dog friendly and the secure garden, although small, was just right. People walking past the cottage down the alley way was a bit unsettling for the dog who barked at everyone who went past. The sofa wasn't the most comfortable but it didn't really matter because we didn't spend much time on it anyway. The range of places to eat and drink within easy walking distance was great.

About the location

PENRYN

Falmouth 1 mile; Truro 9 miles.

One of the oldest market towns in Cornwall, the pretty port of Penryn boasts a wealth of historic architecture and harbour heritage with attractive granite buildings steeply sloping along the cobbled streets down to the sea. There’s a good choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs in the town, along with a museum offering free entry, and the tranquil Enys Gardens on the outskirts of the town, providing a range of grounds and a peaceful haven. Further along the Penryn River, just one mile towards the sea you’ll find the famous seaport of Falmouth, with a host of things to keep you entertained including harbour-side pubs and eateries offering spectacular views, stunning Blue Flag beaches and a bustling town centre. Visit the National Maritime Museum for a taste of Cornwall’s sea-faring history, or the fine Tudor fortress of Pendennis Castle, superb set gazing out to sea. You don’t have to venture far from Penryn to discover Cornwall’s many sights, delights and stunning coastline, and this is the perfect character base from which to see it all.
